In just a few minutes, Eamon’s party was a.s.sembled. After another ten minutes, Eamon and ten other party members appeared in front of Jiang Fei.
“Grand Marshal, all of our party members have arrived. Now, can you tell us the details of the Quest?”Eamon said to Jiang Fei.
“Can this guy really accept quests?”
“I don’t know. He just flew past me. It doesn’t look like he can issue quests…”
“Perhaps our levels are too low…”
The “Players”behind Eamon whispered among themselves. At the same time, they were also sizing up Jiang Fei. After all, as a novice “Player”, these people had never seen an NPC of Jiang Fei’s level.
“I need you to gather some data. When you’re done, I will pay you some light s.h.i.+p-borne weapons and ammunition,”said Jiang Fei as he handed out some small instruments to the “Players”, these small instruments were all made by Jiang Fei through the factory in the spatial ring. Their purpose was to collect spatial signals.
“No problem, Grand Marshal!”Eamon nodded. Although this quest was very simple, so simple that a high-level “Player”would not even be interested in it, because he knew that Jiang Fei was the grand marshal of the Imperial Army.., therefore, Eamon felt that things were not that simple. This quest should be the prelude to some Super Hidden Quest.
Therefore, even though Jiang Fei’s quest reward was almost negligible, Eamon still accepted the quest.
Although Eamon did not care about the quest reward, for those “Novice players”, this reward was considered pretty good. Especially when Eamon had previously promised them a frigate each, this way, they would not have to worry about a.s.sembling the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
After all, it was impossible to go out and fight with just one wars.h.i.+p. One had to a.s.semble their own s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, including weapons, ammunition, additional armor, s.h.i.+elds, and various engineering parts, if they were to fly a naked s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, it would only be a living target for them to beat up.
The newbie “Players”were very tight on funds. Even if they got the frigate, they would not be able to use it immediately. They had to save a lot of money to equip the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Now that they had Jiang Fei’s quest reward.., they could save a lot of money. Therefore, the newbie “Players”were naturally very happy.
“Grand Marshal, where do you need us to collect data?”Asked Eamon.
“Anywhere is fine. I’m just testing these instruments. You guys just need to gather the data nearby. However, you need to spread out a little so as not to affect the accuracy of the data,”said Jiang Fei, although he wanted to gather the data around the wormhole the most, it was easy to arouse suspicion if he said it directly. He did not divide the specific collection area now. The “Players”would definitely complete the mission as soon as possible, they would collect the data around the s.p.a.ce city.
Jiang Fei also told them to collect the data as separately as possible. Therefore, some “Players”would naturally run to the wormhole. That way, Jiang Fei would be able to get the data that he wanted.
“Yes, sir! We are leaving!”Before Eamon could say anything, Jiang Fei had already left, those “Players”who were newbies had already accepted the mission and left. They quickly left the s.p.a.ceport and began to collect spatial signals around the s.p.a.ce city.
“Grand Marshal, I’m going to help too. I believe that your quest will be completed soon.”Eamon smiled at Jiang Fei. Then, he drove a scout s.h.i.+p and went out to collect signals.
The speed of the scout s.h.i.+p was naturally not something that the novice s.h.i.+ps could compare to. Therefore, Eamon quickly collected the spatial signals around the s.p.a.ce city. In this way, the other “Players”could only avoid collecting repeated signals, they could only sail further away.
“Grand Marshal, I have collected some signals.”Eamon returned in about half an hour. After all, he was collecting them nearby. Moreover, the s.h.i.+p was very fast, therefore, he was the first to collect all the storage s.p.a.ce of the instrument.
“Very good! I still need more data to verify the accuracy of the instrument.”Jiang Fei immediately fulfilled the reward of his quest, anyway, he could produce the basic weapons and ammunition in the spatial ring. Jiang Fei already had enough energy to produce them.
“Alright!”Eamon casually called the real npcs in the s.p.a.ce city and asked them to transport all the ammunition and weapons to the Guild warehouse. After that, he set off again. Although this reward was not worth mentioning to him.., however, he firmly believed that this quest was only the prelude to a certain super hidden quest. Therefore, he decided to continue doing it.
As time pa.s.sed, Eamon had already returned two to three times. The other “Players”had also handed in their quests one after another. After Jiang Fei fulfilled the quest reward, he asked them to continue collecting signals, as the signals near the s.p.a.ce station had already been collected, these “Players”could only go further away to collect signals.
“Grand Marshal, do you think I can complete this mission as a team?”Eamon was a little tired of doing this after his fifth return. After all, this mission was too boring and the reward was too little, to him, this was simply a waste of time.
However, Eamon was not willing to give up on the so-called “Follow-up”mission because in his opinion, Jiang Fei, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Army, could not test some equipment for no reason. The more tedious this mission was, the more difficult it would be, the follow-up quest behind it would be harder to come by!
“Of course!”Jiang Fei said with a smile. His goal was to collect spatial signals near the wormhole. Therefore, the more “Players”there were, the better.
“That’s Great!”Eamon was delighted. He immediately bought the announcement and expanded the fleet’s capacity.
With Eamon’s announcement, the small fleet of ten people quickly expanded to more than fifty people. Although Eamon had to pay more for the frigate, he did not mind. After all, time was the most precious thing to him, if paying for some low-level battles.h.i.+ps could save a lot of time, he was willing to pay for it.
At the same time, Jiang Fei was also very happy. After Eamon’s fleet expanded, there would be “Players”coming to submit quests almost every once in a while. Although these “Players”still had not spread to the wormhole.., however, Jiang Fei was not in a hurry. After all, the s.p.a.ce within the light membrane was only so big. These “Players”would sooner or later collect the spatial signals near the wormhole in detail, jiang Fei had only paid for some low-level weapons and ammunitions. He could completely produce these things himself. There was no need to worry about the quest reward being insufficient.
